"Last night involved a collaboration of hot, happy tears, the most genuine smile I've ever known, and a heart-felt joy unlike anything my soul has experienced.
At 11:11, I prayed for God to show me whether or not Justin was the one I was meant to spend the rest of my life with. I can't tell you exactly why I made such a request, and I can't tell you what I really expected to happen either.
It couldn't have been any longer than a half hour later that Justin came through my bedroom door and woke me up with a soft kiss on the forehead. He climbed into bed beside me and gently lifted my head from the pillow and onto his shoulder. I struggled to keep my eyes open as I listened to the steady beating of his heart, but they never managed to stay open for more than a few seconds before falling shut again. He laughed, told me I was the cutest thing, and ran his fingers through my hair.
As my drowsy stupor began to wear off, I looked Justin in the eyes. A strong hand held my cheek as delicately as possible and he kissed me softly upon the lips.
I have never been this in love. I told him that. I told him of my 11:11 wish, and we laid, noses touching, nothing held back. He told me that he loved me with everything that he had then began to kiss me, and I became so overwhelmed with emotion that my eyes stung with tears.
Taking my face into his hands once more, Justin used his thumbs to wipe away the hot tears rolling down my flushed cheeks. A smile from as deep as my own soul surfaced and it seemed as though I could not have suppressed it if I tried. I have never been that truly happy before. I wondered if he could see that this smile was unlike any other I've ever had. I felt as if I were glowing. I felt as if everything was the way it should be.
With adoring eyes, I watched him study me. No words were exchanged, only the understanding that two lovers' eyes can share. Finally, a smile spread across his face as well.
"What?" It was all I could manage to whisper with a smile so big.
"You're just....you're beautiful."
It was the perfect thing to say. I laid my head back onto his chest and observed a much faster rhythm than I had before. I closed my eyes and thanked God for answering my prayers. I knew Justin was it.. my best friend... my soulmate."
